Ok, I know I said I was done with the Pumpkin Recipes, but please indulge me for one more and then I’ll move on, for a little while at least!:) You know how a recipe might call for just a small amount of pumpkin and then you have half the can left over? This is […]

Peach Lemonade

Fresh ripe juicy peaches just scream summer don’t they!?! They are so refreshing even by themselves in this hot hot weather.  I saw this recipe in Cooking Light recently and had it on my calendar to make when peaches came in at their peak.  I then saw it pop up on several sites since then […]

Virgin Strawberry Mojitos

Have any of you seen 27 Dresses? I just love that movie! It’s one of my favorites! Well in one of the scenes Kevin is trying to get Jane to meet him for drinks and he tells her when she doesn’t have some “Mojito and Burrito” couples shower to attend to give him a call. […]

Vanilla Almond Iced Tea

So this may surprise you, but I had never made sweet tea before today.  I know, I know how can I be a Southerner and not have made a batch of freshly brewed iced tea? Honestly, I like my tea dripping with sweetness….like it’s from the deep South, ya’ll (said with lots of twang and […]

Holiday Detox Smoothie

I don’t know about you, but I definitely ate my share of heavy carbs, cheese, cookies & candy over the week of Christmas & New Year’s.  While it all tasted amazing, it left me feeling tired and overloaded from all of that heavy food and I needed something to detox from all that overindulgance.  When […]

Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya…to the Florida Keys….there’s a place called kokomo…that’s where we wanna go….Oh don’t mind me, I was just wishing for warmer climates. See, we’ve had a bit of a cold snap here in Tennessee and it has me longing for the warmth of the tropics. Since that’s not happening […]

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Biscotti

Here in the South we had an especially cold winter. While it has warmed up as of late, it snowed several times and was quite chilly for where we live. There is nothing better on a cold night than warming up with some hot chocolate, in my opinion. To go along with our hot chocolate, […]
